[support] setting log-in link to "cas"

[Metzler, David]

I ended up developing a CAS module for drupal to perform this auth.  I
haven't ported it to 4.7 yet, but will be doing this.  It's not on the
drupal site.  

What plugin are you using?  I wasn't aware of other code to support CAS
authentication in drupal.....   

Would you be interested in my CAS module when I port it to 4.7?  The
technique I used for this was to develop my own login block to replace
the login block that's available in the "user module".

Hi All ...

I've been lurking for a little bit now and finally have a 'real'  
question.  I've been very pleased with testing Drupal so far. I have a
small group that needs a content management platform. Drupal seems to
provide the right balance of being configurable-yet-simple enough to use
for the task.

Also, I'm looking to use single sign-on with drupal via CAS.  The
plug-in installs without a hitch and I configured the host, path etc.
In the instructions it says to:

 > 3) Set a Login link (primary links in your theme works well) that
goes to "cas"

I'm not quite getting it. Does it mean to add a menu item with a path of
"cas" or "/cas"?  If so, that does not work. Or does it mean to hack the
them where the login block is? As far as I can see, the login form
action is just  "/?q=node&destination=".  Would you set that to "?q=cas"
or "?q=node/cas" ? What in the 'theme' would you modify? Themes are
coming up on my list of things to figure out ...  
but grepping for 'login' or 'user-login' in my current theme's directory
doesn't turn anything up in those files.

TIA,

Jason
